Empowering You to Achieve Sustainability Through Contracting
Thursday 15 May, 2025 - Free Global Virtual Event
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, sustainability has transcended from being merely a corporate buzzword to becoming a fundamental business imperative. As regulations tighten and stakeholder expectations rise, organizations worldwide are seeking effective strategies to integrate sustainability into their contracting practices. WorldCC Foundation's annual World Sustainable Contracting Day offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain the insights, tools, and connections necessary to navigate this complex terrain.
The Regulatory Landscape: Why It Matters Now
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) stands at the forefront of global sustainability regulations, reshaping how businesses approach their supply chains and contracting processes. This directive requires companies to integrate human rights and environmental due diligence into their operations—affecting not only EU-based organizations but also businesses worldwide that operate within or supply to European markets.
Global Perspective, Regional Relevance
Understanding and adapting to these changes isn't just about compliance—it's about securing a competitive edge in an increasingly conscious marketplace. With content tailored for EMEA, Americas, and APAC audiences, this event addresses regional regulatory nuances while maintaining a global perspective on sustainable contracting best practices.
